Correct on the training.  In my family, I am often asked to carve birds,
because my years as a biologist and all the training in dissections means I
can do it cleanly and thoroughly.

It does surprise guests who expect one of the "men of the house" to be
asked, but in my family we go for skill level, not gender.
